EXCITED ANARCHISTS.
A RUN0R THAT TIE DECISION OF ThB
LOWER COURT WAS AFFIRMED
Creates Great Excitement About the Courts and
JGl-An Extra Guard Pul Over the Con-
dsmnsd Msa-Ths Dread News
Is COntradieted.

CHICAGO, September 13.-A rnmor that
the decision of the lower courts in the An
archists' cases had been affirmed was
spread over the city by police wires this
morning and caused great excitement for
half an hour. The criminal court build
ing and the alleys and courts about the
county jail were suddenly overrun by
special squads of police officers, detectives
and deputy sheriffs, that have been
held in readiness. When the intelligence
reached Captain Setback he was in the Chi
cago avenue Police Court. He proceeded
at once to the Criminal Court building to
superintend the disposition of the extra
guard that will be at once thrown around
the Jail JailOr Folz communicated the
report to the condemned men, who were
taking their exercise. The moisture broke
out on the face Of Spies, who was talking
to Miss Van Zandt. He wiped his face
with q pocket handkerchief and went on
eonversing with Miss Van Zlndt. The
Ol0cIS were uOl uOllCtdulN luONCu, luONS III
the report bore for the moment the color
of authority.
Captain Setback and Assistant States
Attorney Furthmanu consulted about the
measures to be taken, and then the con-
tradiction of the rumor came. Iu five
minutes later the deputies, policemen and
detectives had disappeared.
THE DECISION.
II the decision is as long as some people
imagine, the force at Clerk Taylor's COM
mand may be insufficient 10 get it ready
for delivery the day il is filed. Mr.. Tay-
lor says no one will be allowed TO see the
written decision until he has the requisite
number of copies made.
Immediately after receiving the docu-
ment he will set four or five type-writers
running at their utmost speed. Several
hours will be consumed in making the
copies if it is as long as is expected. Then
he will not give one out until they are all
carefully compared with the original. The
public may not have the decision in its
length and breadth for day or two after
it is filed They will, however, know the
important practical tact of what the deci-
sion is as soon after the words leave the
Courts mouth as the telegraph wires can
flash them through the length and breadth
of the land.

Dried.

The hundreds of tons of uncon-
sumed potatoes in Nevada, which
every year rot, are worthy better
fate. 1t is impossible for us to
send our surplus by rail in their
natural state to the East or to Eu-
rope. The transportation is too
bulky and therefore too expensive !;
then comes the risk that at the
place of destination, or before, the
potatoes are in danger of sprouting,
freezing and decaying. With fresh
potatoes no business of any assured
profit can be made. How is it il
they are not sold or not consumed :?
Then all capital and labor for the
entire year is wasted.
But how will it be if we take from
the potatoe it's normal continent,
the "water?" By doing this the
weight is reduced 10 one-fifth Of the
original, and besides, the perish
able character is taken away to
make it endure climate and temper
ature for any length of time.
Would not such a process in a
State which, by it's altitude, soil
and climate, is so much favored in
producing the best potatoes in the
world, be an inducement for plant
ing potatoes on large scale?
There is on exhibition at the
State Fair some potatoes scientific
ally dried. The weight has been re-
duoed four-fifths, which means a
saving of four-fiftns in freight
bills to the shipper. These pota-
toes are peeled, aliced and dried, but
when placed in water resume their
original flavor, and are ready to
cook. With the reputation this
State has for fine potatoes, it would
only be necessary to present them
to the world in this shape to make
them famous all over the continent.
There are parties in San Francisco
who have the secret of this process,
but the process is of no use in Cali
fornia, as they cannot get the pota
toes. Here is a chance for Nevada
capital that ought not to be allowed
to pass.

POTATOES.


The potatoe Is one of the most
desired vegetable which is eaten, at
least once a day, not as a luxury
but as necessity to fill up the
empty stomach of the working class
to sustain life.
The cheapness of this food is the
inducement that it is in everybody's
home, and in many districts the
people have to depend entirely, to
support their families, on a good
crop of potatoes.
The nature and character of the
potatoe is very sensitive, after being
ripe and taken out of the ground
the duration of remaining in
healthy condition is very short. In
a warm damp place, in a few
months the eyes begin to sprout and
in a cold place the water which is
its normal constituent, will freeze
and frozen potatoe is without
flavor and taste. Fermentation and
decomposition OF the starcby matter
takes place which brings all into
putrefaction. The composition of
the average Nevada potatoe is as
follows:

KILLED HIS TWO SISTERS.
An Awful Accident Caused by a
Bows PLAY With a Gun.

The following sad tale of the acct
dental shooting of two little girls, one
of whom died and the other, it is feared,
will not live, is reported from the little
village of Berwyn, in Pennsylvania:
The little home of ThomaSD. Smedley
was frightened by the presence OF two
daughters-Anna, aged twelve years,
and Oracle, aged four yeals-and boy,
John, aged fifteen years. There IS great
grief in this home now, as little Oracle
is dead and buried, and little Anna IS
almost past hope of recovery. =,
The story of this affection IS related
as follows: John Smedley, the son,
large for his age, was out cunning III
the neighbOring country. Before nlSnt
fell he turned homeward and reached
the house about O'Clock. HIS father
and mother had both left home, leaving
nobodt at home but the two girls, Anna
and Oracle. When the boy entered the
little kitchen Anna was sitting on the
floor in a corner trying to solve puzzle.
and Oracle stood watching with child
ish curiosity. John sat on chair
two or three yards away from the
little girls, with Oracle near
est. He rested his gun. which was
loaded. against his leg moment, when
the dog that had accompanied him on
the hunt leaped upon his lap. The gun
fell with the barrels pointing full to-
ward the children. The hammers struck
the floor and the deadly discharge
tore through the bodies of the little
ones. The mouth of the gun barrel al
most touched Oracle in its fall, and the
load of shot tore the flesh of her right
leg near the thigh into shreds. Passing
on, a part of the discharge buried itself
in Annals leg below the knee. John, ter
rified by the discharge and the sight OF
the blood, ran away toward BerWln Tor
the doctor. On the way he told neigh
Dor of the calamity at the house. When
Mrs. Speakman. the neighbOr. got to
the scene of the accident she met there
Thomas English, who. passing at the
time, had found that Anna. half out OF
her mind, had crawled to the gate, ten
yards from the spot where she was
hurt, dragging her dying sister.
She only got as far as the gate, how
ever, for her strength gave out from the
loss of blCoI. Both children were car
ried back into the house. Little Oracle )
leg was held only by ShredS of flesh,
and the physicians later ON ampntatedl
it. She died without speaking word
after being shot.
The brother, John, was much cast
down BIZ the awful accident.
Il don't knew what happened or that
the girls said anything after they were
shot" said John. Il didn't hear any
thing. | only heard the gun go off, and
law the blood flow on the floor. Father
always keeps the gun loaded in the
house. He made me promise to bring
if hack loaded"
